Recovery of fisheries historical time series for Mediterranean and Black Sea stock assessment

The RECFISH project (Specific Contract n. 01 under the Framework Contract EASME/EMFF/2016/032 "Provision of scientific advice for the Mediterranean and the Black Sea") has been developed with the ultimate objective of creating a reference database containing historical fisheries data pre DCR/DCF in the Mediterranean Sea (prior to 2002) and Black Sea (prior to 2008), to provide standardized CPUEs and to build some case studies where historical landings and CPUEs are integrated into recent stock assessments.
